Gone Away

Am I capable of so much pain? Third eye shut, an illusion of fear Nothing to gain? I wish for the world to stop and to spin, Instead of falling down under Him Perhaps the cracks will heal with some glue A couple staples, some scotch tape-- Good as new? Pretending instead of mending I keep on the road The grass is inviting but the signs forbid Instant soup remedies the common flu But what I need is a cure for you Laughter calls me back from catatonic A ripple of reality comes rushing in to fill the holes I lay down on the grass, staring at the shapes in the sky Why did I have to get so high?
